Psalm
30 – God Moves in Mysterious Ways
First
the thunder rolled over the Mediterranean Sea. Then the storm broke and moved
across the land. Seven times the storm is called “the voice of the Lord.” Even
the angels shout “Glory” as they watch it.
God
sat as King at the Flood, and He is still King! No storm is greater than God.
If you trust Him, the storm will bring glory to God. If life is stormy just
now, worship Him and wait on Him. The storm will pass, and He will give you
peace.
David
expressed his thanks to God for the changes in his life. God had healed David
and lifted him up from the grave. His sickness had been a discipline from God
because of David’s pride and self-sufficiency. Perhaps it was in connection
with the sin of numbering the people.
There
is a contrast between God’s momentary anger and His gift of lasting joy,
between weeping and joy, and between the night and the morning. Things may seem
dark to you now but wait for His morning to dawn. He can change everything in a
hurry.
David
humbled himself before God and begged for help and mercy. When God saw that the
discipline had done its work, He healed David and forgave his sins. David
changed clothes, picked up his harp, and began to sing praises to the Lord.
No
matter how dark the night, dawn will come. No matter how heavy your heart, one
day there will be a song. Wait patiently and trust the Lord. “His favor is for
life.”
